The project representative and mentor uses this template to inform the IncCom of the project status on a periodic basis. The state of the project, as reported using this template, will be the initial indication that a project is reaching graduation.

General

Infrastructure Transition

Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.

Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?

Yes. The project http://www.osgeo.org/marble has been populated with the OSGeo Live info sheet. The project has access to a well established environment and there is no need to migrate anything to OSGeo infrastructure.

Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?

Yes. The steering committee is formed by developers who have contributed significantly to the project. In Marble words they are called "maintainer" and the "Maintainer Group" is what OSGeo calls the PSC. It typically requires one or two years of regular code contributions to become a maintainer. The group solve issues in a consensus process. There is currently no formal voting process in place and no apparent need to change this.

The full history of all decisions that have been taken since inception in 2006 are available through the mailing list archives.

How many active developers are there? Are they from multiple organizations?

The steering group has 3 members from three different organizations. Most code is currently developed by 5 core developers. In total 21 developers have contributed to the project over the past years. Marble is completely built by volunteers which is why there is no single commercial entity currently involved. Contributors come from many different types of organizations the list is available here:
